Mini shopping haul - first up is Primark :)

Ok, so I have done a teeny weeny little bit of shopping today and there's nothing like a bit of retail therapy to cheer you up on a blustery winters day!!

So, firstly I went to Primark and bough a peachy coloured gap lace jumper, I LOVE IT! I usually find it hard to but tops in primarni as their clothes are not generally made to fit 'bigger busted' ladies like myself, but utter surprise it fit me well and is even on the baggy side which is even better :)
I will add a pic below...its a really light weight material with elasticated cuffs and waist band. The back of the jumper is solid material which I really like and tbh I feel this jumpers looks much more expensive than the £8.00 I paid for it! They had it in a cream colour also but as I'm always picking monochrome then I thought a little bit of colour wouldn't hurt!

I also bought a lovely long gold pendent chain which had a cluster of charms at the end, it's really pretty an actually looks great with the jumper I bought, it's very...well, girly! Lol! And it only cost £2.00, happy days :)

Well, I could have spent all day in the scarf section, they had mahoosive amounts and nearly all I like (apart from the one that resembled vomit!) but I chose to be good and walked away with just one. I went for the skull scarf and absolutely love it! I noticed they ha a white one so may go and get that before I head back up north. The scarf cost either £3.00 or £4.00 I can't quite remember, but which ever it was I felt it was a great price!

And last but no means least I got myself a make-up bag to keep some of my palettes in and larger items as I am running out of space in my kit bag (need to invest in a case :-/ ) anyhoo, this is a very practical makeup bag and for £4.00 I thought it was well worth the purchase. It's very spacious and has a cute little badge on the front saying 'make me gorgeous', well it won me over! Lol

Green/Brown Smokey Eye

Well, today I decided to do a green/brown smokey eye.

I had intended to do a YT vid for this look, however I ran out of day light so thought I would add it on here instead :)

So, firstly I did my base, for this I used the following:

17 Photo Flawless Primer

Rimmel Lasting perfection foundation (3, Biscuit)

Rimmel Lasting perfection Concealer (Looooove this!)

No Make-up...Meh!

I then took an E.L.F eyeshadow brush and covered my lid in Supernova (Sleek Me, Myself & Eye) which is a gorgeous taupe(ish) colour and created a good base to build up the look.

 Me, Myself & Eye Palette <3

I then took another E.L.F brush (crease brush) and took a mid-brown colour from my Warm E.L.F Palette.

I worked this gorgeous coffee brown into the crease to give the look a bit of depth and to start building up the smokey effect. I then used the Supernova from earlier to soften and blend up to the brow bone.

I chose to use the green in my sleek palette, which is called Primal Green, it's a gorgeous olive green with a small amount of sparkle to it - perfect for the look I want to achieve.

I am loving green eyeshadow's at the moment, which is actually a colour I have never thought of wearing before! I personally feel that the warmer greens are a perfect colour for winter, and brown tones really compliment it!

I then added a very thin black liquid liner with a slight wing to it - this look could easily lend to a heavier line and wing and some super lashes, however I chose to keep it a fairly simple style.

I used a GOSH black pencil liner on my tight line as well as on my waterline but kept it more along the lashes and smudged this out to create a softer look. I curled my lashes (which are pathetic excuses for lashes lol) and applied a good coating of Rimmel Scandaleyes mascara in black.

On my cheeks I used the Sleek Contour Kit in Light and applied the highlighter to my higher cheek bones and brow bone, also I used MUA shade 2 blusher.

For my lips I applied a thin coating of my E.L.F Glossy Gloss Berry Blush to complete the look!

So here is the finished look!
